1 John 4:18
“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.”
If we understand that by love, we are in God, and God in us, that we are His sons and daughters, that we know God, and that everlasting life is in us: John rightly concludes here that we may well gather peace and contentment from this perfect love and fear not.
The Truth
“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” (Isaiah 41:10)
